Product Information

Full details

The Reuben Heaton Specimen Hunter Scales are designed for dedicated specimen and competition anglers who require high-precision weighing equipment that can withstand rigorous outdoor use. Offering an accuracy rating of one part in 500, these scales provide the reliability needed for record-breaking catches, though users should note that the analog dial requires manual calibration via the tare facility to maintain peak precision.

FAQs

What is the maximum capacity of these scales?

The 4060/100SC model is calibrated for weights up to 100lb.

Do I need batteries for these scales?

No, these are purely mechanical scales and do not require batteries.

How do I zero the scale with a weigh sling?

Hang your empty, dry sling on the hook and rotate the zeroing knob on the side of the housing until the needle aligns with zero.

Can these scales be used in saltwater?

Yes, they are built with corrosion-resistant internal components, though you should rinse the exterior with fresh water after exposure.

What does one part in 500 accuracy mean?

It means the scale is calibrated to be accurate within a margin of 1/500th of its total capacity.

Troubleshooting

Needle not returning to zero after removing sling

Ensure the tare knob is adjusted correctly or check if debris is caught near the hanging point mechanism.

Difficult to read dial in bright sun

Adjust your viewing angle slightly to leverage the Enhanced Vision System, which is designed to minimize direct glare.

Scale feels sticky or slow to respond

Check the stainless steel hook for salt or dirt buildup; clean with a dry cloth and ensure the internal spring is not obstructed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Reuben Heaton scales, always store them in a dry, padded case when not in use to protect the lens from scratches. Compatibility is universal; the stainless steel hook is designed to fit the straps of virtually all modern weigh slings. To maintain the scale, avoid submerging the unit in water. If it becomes dirty, wipe the exterior with a slightly damp microfiber cloth. Periodically check the hanging points for debris to ensure free movement. If the needle does not return to zero after the sling is removed, use the side-mounted tare knob to recalibrate.
